Some have asked what kind
of "tension" this Is about. No,
It Is not the kind found on sew-1
Ing msrhlnes but rather that
commonly railed nervous ten
sion! Often the term I used to I
mean frustration, fatigue, un-
happiness, discontent, worry. In
ner turmoil, uneasiness, or some
other feeling. We hear much
about this kind of tension these
days. Mrs. Roberta Frasler, ex
tension family life specialist,
ha prepared some excellent ma
terials on this topic relating to
the cause and meaning of ten
sion and suggestions for Its con
trol. Other person, particularly
thone who are Interested In this
lesson for a program for their
organization, are welcome to
bring their sack lunches and at

much discussion centered around
the question "How much Is a

In Extension programs for

us this clue. To keep n girl In.

The Successful Farmer
of Tomorrow is the
Future Farmer of Today
Morrow County Has Chapters at Heppner and Riverside High Schools
FFA CREED
I believe in the future of farming, with a faith born
not of words but deeds achievements won by the
present and past generations of farmers; in the
promise of better days through better ways, even as
the better things we now enjoy have come up to use
from the struggles of former years.
I believe that to live and work on a good farm is
pleasant as. well as challenging; for I know the joys
and discomforts of farm life and hold an inborn fond
ness1 for those associations which, even in hours of
discouragement I can not deny.
I believe in leadership from ourselves and respect
from others. I believe in my own ability to work ef
ficiently and think clearly, with such knowledge and
skill as I can secure, and in the ability of organized
farmers to serve our own and the public interest in
marketing the product of our toil. I believe we can
safeguard those rights against practices and policies
that are unfair.
I believe in less dependence on begging and more
Eower in bargaining; in the life abundant and enough
onest wealth to help make it so for others as well
as myself; in less need for charity and more of it when
needed; in being happy myself and playing square
with those w7hose happiness depends on me.
I believe that rural America can and will hold true
to the best traditions in our national life and that I
can exert an influence in my home and community
which will stand solid for my part in that inspiring
task.
